I chose the impossible. I chose... Denny's.
An eatery where the artist would not fear the censor.
Where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality. Where the great would not be constrained by the small.
And with the sweat of your brow, Denny's can become your restaurant as well.

"Peter Cropes laughed.
"He stood naked at the doorway to the Denny's. The woman in front of him was just an anus-like thing dividing him from the food he wanted. With a laugh, he seized a pen and drew on himself, in the manner of men, a face of long straight lines and angles, each curve broken into planes.
He stood, rigid, his hands at his sides. He felt the weight of the blood in his hands. He felt the rush of the air conditioner on his ass. He felt the man in front of him feeling the face, and he laughed.
The days of highschool ahead would be difficult, but everything was clear to him. He raised his arms, and stabbed the waitress repeatedly in the neck with a plastic knife."

As far as I'm concerned Nice Pete's view of high school isn't that skewed. When I was in high school, Denny's was the only restaurant to go to after 2 am. Why? Josh, that's why.
Josh, the tall thin waiter with a shaved head and thick rimmed glasses, who would deliver our food and then pull a chair up to our table and talk about which of Wim Wenders' films he liked best. Josh, with the tattoo of a Bauhaus symbol with an Aladdin Sane lightening bolt.
Eventually we stopped seeing him and rumor got around that he snapped and flipped over some customer's table and got fired for it.
I saw him a few months after I graduated, at a Blue Oyster Cult concert, but when the cowbell died down and we parted ways I truly realized that High School was over.
I haven't seen him since then, but Josh, if you're out there, Shine on, you crazy hipster diamond.

Then you got a bit older and realised that they didn't have any friends who were old enough to rent a car, but you still went round there because you liked the drugs and he was still good fun, then one day, when you were about nineteen and you hadn't been there for a while, but you decided to pop in for old times sake, and you see him giving a line of MDMA to a sixteen year old, and you suddenly realise how nasty and creepy the whole thing had always been. Remember that guy.

On the plus side the art style is kind of okay until you realize you hate the characters and by extension the author then it is ruined.

George had a bad run with rabbits (and wanton harlots), but at least he was trying to show them how much he loved them.
He was never all "Tell me about the rabbits, Lenny. I'm gonna break their fucking necks."

Molly and the waitress are both women who put up with men with neuroses; Pete is more seriously disturbed, so suffering him is the bigger feat.
Molly and the waitress both find themselves in straightened circumstances behind a fast food counter, but while Molly just has to endure a guy asking what has the lowest sodium content, the waitress has to put up with a naked dude. But it's predicated on the whole idea that suffering=greatness.

I think there's a big difference between French fries and chips - chips are chunky, French fries are as slender and effeminate as their namesake. I prefer French fries.
But chips are not crisps, and hash browns in India are weird.

you can stuff all three into your vagina and labia but some good chips the consistency of fries if arranged correctly can act sort of like labia extensions. Throw some ketchup on that mess and that's a tasty treat for the dog.

This comment by ratacattt is as if a man who, previously, when he was nervous, would become annoyingly strange has suddenly begun creating underwear from linguine, a tin foil hat, and other parts of the "Manson/Gein" summer fashion lines. It is sad but not unexpected, like false boobs on a teenage celebrity of Los Angeles, or the late-season performance of the Chicago Cubs.

The differences between Icees, Slurpees, shaved ice/snow cone, lemon ice, and Italian ice are all complex and varied and best left up to the professionals.
We're not even going to get into the graduate-level work with sorbet and granita.
Slush Puppies are most like Slurpees.

His degree deserves credit. I was expelled after inventing the Stinkzaster and presenting it as my masterpiece. It is such a blind limitation to say that all drinks must taste good, they can do so much more.

Well, that would be very reasonable. Since when are you a reasonable chap, belgand? Your fast-food pedigree is unmatchable, and I think slurpees and slush-puppies may be included under that broad umbrella.

So by the time Pete had enough money for dinner, he would have cut several patches of his skin off and handed them out to other patrons - and the waitress would no longer dare refuse him service.

Reading this thread is like watching a hilarious train slowly derail and plow into a crowd of midgets.
Maimed midgets will ensue.... shortly.
shortly. It is how they will ensue
heh
i guess the real question is:
Do you find it funny when midgets are killed by a hilarious train?
The Hilarious Train is a spin-off of Sesame Street, and therefore, by definition everything that it kills is funny.
The midgets are not killed. The train is moving slowly enough that they can get out of the way, it just disrupts their midget social gathering.
Unfortunately what did die a horrible death was the midgets enthusiasm for one of the midgets repeated stories about his latest medical problems. He always brings the gatherings down.
So no Gouranga bonus then?
It takes real talent to be Nice Pete.
There are reasons why he is The Winner.
I'm hoping not to find out why he is actually called Nice Pete.
Do you think it is wrong to touch a caricature of your face on another man's stomach or do you agree that it is okay?
